Sina Arami

Sina Arami -سينا آرامی

This young victim is not widely known. Reportedly he died on Ashoora 2010 and the sources state his friend Mehran's account:“Sina’s family and friends have shut their mouths, but now a guilty conscience has inspired me to tell the truth. Last year, me and Sina had gone to Jamaran for listening to Khatami’s speech. As you know, the Basiji thugs attacked Jamaran and brutally beat everyone, broke the windows, etc and Kahatami’s speech remained incomplete. Sina wanted to record the scene of the crime (with his mobile or camera), but the Basiji thugs saw him, caught him, beat him to death, and took him into a van. The next day, i.e. Ashoura day, the news of his death were given to his family. They threatened that if Sina’s family says anything about his killing, they would killed the other child of Sina’s family. (Maybe) Naturally, his family (and his friends) was scared to death and said nothing about Sina’s tragedy. His family lived in Langroud, Gilan, but after Sina’s tragedy the regime forced Sina’s family into leaving Langroud, and moving to Karaj.” He added: "When I went to Langroud for Sina’s funeral, I saw his dead body. The cuts and bruises on his backs, was clearly a sing of whip. His finger nails were pulled. And some holes, like drill’s holes, were visible in his bones. And the most dreadful thing was about his abdomen. They had emptied his abdomen. Apparently, after a lot of brutal tortures, they finally shot into his hip, and the bullet went from one side of his body to the other side."Sources: English, Persian 1, Persian 2,
